Little Auks Alle alle a.k.a. Dovekies are the smallest of all Auks, around the size of a starling, and have a very distinctive black and white plumage. Feeding on a diet of tiny marine crustaceans, the little auk obtains is food by diving to depths of up to 35 meters, before using its natural buoyancy to swim upwards in a zig-zag pattern and capture its prey. This allows its prey to be backlit against the surface light, and the prey items are then caught in the little auk’s small, wide bill. The little auk often feeds at night, when its prey migrates to the water surface. A highly gregarious species, the little auk breeds in huge, dense colonies, which comprise more birds than any other auk colony. During the summer the little auk breeds on islands around the Arctic, being found on islands in the Bering Sea across to northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, and northern Russia. Before the onset of winter the little auk travels southwards, when it largely resides in low Arctic waters but may be found as far south as the United Kingdom and northeast USA. With a huge global population which likely numbers over 30 million birds, the little auk is an abundant species that lacks any known major threats to its survival.
